Enjoyed the trip. Nick was an amazing tour leader, fluent in English and knows his history of Tbilisi and Georgia. Great if you have 5 hours to spare in your itinerary

Mariam was a great guide! We really enjoyed the tour. Felt like we could have spent a bit less time in the village and more time at the Chronicles. Other than that, we liked it a lot!

This is an absolute MUST! They show you the highlights of the areas near Tbilisi. You get amazing views of the city as well as the Chronicles of Georgia.... nothing like it in the world.
Our guide was Mariam. She is incredibly passionate about Georgia, as well as good, wine, animals, nature and music. Request her to play traditional and current Georgian music. We had a great group of fun people and had an amazing time!

Its my 1st time to join a group tour and its was a unforgettable experience to share with others, Our guide “Nick” was so professional and so knowledgable to explain and inform the places you have visit. He is so helpful to take photos as well. Keep up and stay more more people to meet you.

Maria was one of the best guides I’ve ever had! She was fun and very knowledgeable! I would highly recommend! Every spot we went too was amazing, I would tour with her any day of the week!
Saphi_M, Jun 2026
The different locations are worth it and the guide was nice and provided some interesting facts.
However, if you can reach the locations by yourself, maybe it's a better option.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the locations and found the guide knowledgeable and engaging.
Our tours are designed not only to provide transportation, but also local insights, historical context, organization, and a stress-free experience. While independent travel is always an option, many guests choose guided tours to make the most of their time and gain a deeper understanding of the places they visit.
We appreciate your perspective and wish you enjoyable travels in the future.

A wonderful morning tour! It’s the perfect length for these visits and allows you to keep on investigating this amazing city afterwards. Time well spent and completely worth it. The tour was entertaining, and it's definitely worth booking the option that includes the Georgian wine tasting.
Mariam was a fantastic guide - so lovely and helpful. She gave us excellent restaurant recommendations, and the one we tried was phenomenal. Highly recommended!
Maria_K, May 2026
Excellent!!! A nice day trip visiting interesting places Kai learning about Georgia history. Recommended!
Hellena_L, May 2026
It’s a real cultural hit and Nick was terrific
If you want an insight into country and culture this is a nice half day tour
Jason_U, May 2026
Nick was a terrific guide. He was very thoughtful and happy to answer questions and made sure we had enough time to stroll at each stop.
Rushda_K, May 2026
My family had a wonderful time on this half day trip — in fact, the sights covered ended up being among our favourites from our whole trip! Each stop was well worth seeing.
Our guide Sandro did a great job of creating a fun atmosphere on the bus, and took his time to explain the history and context at each stop. He also did a good job keeping to time, and accommodating people's needs. The wider team were also very helpful and responsive over WhatsApp.
Michelle_W, May 2026
Great day with Nick! He was very knowledgeable and incredibly passionate about Georgian history. The tastings were so much fun, it was like being with a group of friends. Would recommend and please fellow travelers, TIP YOUR GUIDES!!!!

Our tour guide Sandro was amazing. He is kind, fun and knowledgeable. They took us to all the stops mentioned and explained them. The tour was extremely fun and we had a great group.
Jacqueline_V, Apr 2026
Great morning tour with Nick as our guide. Very friendly, informative and interesting guy.
Definitely recommend
Jayesh_T, Apr 2026
Great way to explore some cool spots just outside Tbilisi. The chronicles of Georgia was the highlight, and wished we spent more time exploring that site. The tour guide (Sandro) was really good, infromative and made the experience fun.
Anna_S, Apr 2026
All the sites were interesting and i enjoyed the places themselves. The guide was fine, though a bit needy for us to constantly affirm him and tell him he was doing a good job. Please stop asking guests to review you right there in front of you in the van. I don’t like the pressure and it deters people from giving honest reviews.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for your feedback and for highlighting that you enjoyed the places visited — we truly appreciate that.
We’re sorry to hear that you felt any pressure regarding reviews. This is definitely not the intention of our team. Sometimes our guides may mention that feedback is appreciated, but it should always be communicated in a light and optional way, never in a way that makes guests uncomfortable.
Your comment is important, and we will address this internally with the guide to ensure a more relaxed and respectful approach going forward.
At the same time, we want to clarify that our goal is always to collect honest and genuine feedback, not to influence it.
Thank you again for sharing your experience — it helps us improve.

I did the Tbilisi:Mtskheta,Jvari,Bazaar,wine tasting,Chronicles of Georgia tour. It’s a budget‑friendly option, and overall I enjoyed it, but it was very sociable. As an introvert, that part wasn’t really for me. That said, the tour was exactly as advertised. The itinerary was solid, the operator communicated clearly, and the meeting point and timings were well explained. The small group size, clean and comfortable minibus, and safe driving made it an easy half‑day trip that covered a lot without feeling rushed. We left just after 09:00 and returned to Rose Revolution Square at 14:00. Wear good footwear — there’s plenty of walking and some uneven paving. I booked the option without the tastings. If you choose to skip the tastings as well, you’ll still have free time in Mtskheta, where you can grab a coffee or a snack. The guide was friendly, but he was a student and didn’t have much historical depth. He shared the basics, but I would have preferred more detailed information, especially given the number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites included. These sites are not very easy to visit independently so I would definitely recommend booking a tour. Overall, it’s a good, affordable tour that delivers exactly what it promises.
Joshua_C, Apr 2026
A fun half day tour. But, more time is needed at both the bar and the chronicles of Georgia. I would recommend adding an hour to the tour so people have time to shop and take photos at the chronicles.
Melanie_S, Apr 2026
This was a good trip and we had fun, however we wished more information was given. The trip was planned to start at 9.00 we were messaged the day before saying we need to be at the meeting point at 8.30, so we turned up at 8.25 (having missed our hotel breakfast as it started at 8 and the walk to the start point was just over 30 minutes away) only to be told the bus leaves at 9.00. Asking people for apparently no clear reason to turn up 30 minutes before a tour seems silly.
Kate_R, Mar 2026
This was a brilliant trip with Sandro and Nick. Not only were they incredibly knowledgeable about the sites but they brought our whole group together with games and chat, which as a solo traveller was invaluable. Would highly recommend!
Ern_K, Mar 2026
Had a great tour with Sandro and Luka. They were knowledgeable, light hearted and friendly. We had a good time and saw the major sites.
